Don't get the Egg "thing" for breakfast on any of their flights imo. Rest is fine-good

Flew them last 2 years ago I think... the sundae for dinner was yummy.

I'd like to bid for upgrades but read that the booking class is then changed to Z, which gives no miles at M&S.

Fare class now changes to 'R' at time bid upgrade is processed.

Flight credit is based on the oiginally booked coach booking class.

Hi

What is the current minimum bid for BOS-PTY-LIM?

Still high chances with the minimum?

I have an upcoming O/W PTY-EZE, and the min. Fly Up upgrade is $370 plus taxes. Are they kidding?!

For an additional data point, I bid the minimum for IAD-PTY and back last week -- about $210 each way -- and failed to score both times.

How many seats?

I bid $70 for BOG - PTY, on a last-minute ticket that was about $250. The meter said "pobre". It's a 70 minute flight. I won a day before the flight. J had 3 empty seats. I was quite happy with the price, which also got me entry to the new Copa Lounge in BOG.

You would have gotten a comp upgrade?

I credited the flight to a different *A program, so no upgrade.

Interesting point on the Club access though, thanks for bringing it up, I learned something. I am *A Gold via CM, so I guess technically I could have presented my ConnectMiles digital card with an economy ticket and gained access if the computer didn't recognize it.

Bid $235 for a PTY-LAX flight coming up which is in the yellow-green thing as bueno. If successful, it would still be about $400 than actually buying the business ticket.

What date? I have been looking at SFO and LAX, and they are 0-2 business class seats left at T-48 (Gold upgrade window) for a lot of them. People are definitely targeting these planes, as the 737-800s are not as full at T-48 in general

Hi All,
Perhaps a newbie question here: I'm *A Gold on ANZ. Tomorrow I'm on CM for BGI-PTY-MSY.
I'm curious if anyone has experience with CM giving comp upgrades if there is still space in J?
I'm on a cheap Y and really don't want to shell out for an upgrade on such a short set of flights.

On a secondary note, the *A website isn't listing the lounge in PTY. Does anyone know if it is currently open for *A Gold?

You won't get a comp upgrade for just having *G on anther *A airline

You will have lounge access though:
